Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a triazolothiadiazole compound and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Programmed cell death has multiple ways, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, etc. Ferroptosis is a new non-apoptotic programmed cell death mode caused by excessive accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides discovered in 2012. This cell death mode shows that when the free iron in the cell increases, on the one hand, more active oxygen will be produced through Fenton reaction to oxidize the polyunsaturated fatty acids on the cell membrane into lipid peroxides; on the other hand, the lipid peroxides can be further catalyzed into toxic lipid free radicals, resulting in cell death. Ferroptosis is found to be highly related to human diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, tissue damage during cold exposure, ischemia-reperfusion injury and cancer, etc. Inducing ferroptosis is a very promising method for treating malignant tumors, which shows a synergistic effect with cancer immunotherapy, and can even kill drug-resistant and metastatic tumor cells.

[0003] Since ferroptosis has become a very promising target for treating cancer, it has attracted great interest. So far, it has been found that ferroptosis is at least regulated by three major redox-related systems, including cysteine-glutathione (GSH)-glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) system, guanosine triphosphate ring hydrolase-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) system and ferroptosis inhibitory protein 1 (FSP1)-CoQ 10 system. Among them, FSP1-CoQ 10 inhibits ferroptosis in cooperation with GSH-GPX4. FSP1 inhibits ferroptosis by reducing ubiquinone to ubiquinol, or reducing vitamin K to hydroquinone. Studies have shown that by inhibiting FSP1, the reducing capacity of FSP1 on lipid peroxides can be affected, thereby inducing the occurrence of cell ferroptosis and effectively preventing tumor recurrence, so the development of FSP1 inhibitors is of great significance for cancer treatment.

[0004] Although FSP1 inhibitors show great prospects in tumor treatment, there are still certain challenges in developing FSP1-targeted small molecule inhibitors at present, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of no FSP1 inhibitors reported in clinical research stage. The reported FSP1 inhibitors mainly include NPD4928, iFSP1, icFSP1, FSEN1, FSEN3, etc. These reported FSP1 inhibitors have shown the potency of inducing ferroptosis in several cancer cell lines, but their inhibitory effect on FSP1 is not strong enough, and their pharmacokinetic properties are poor, which is not suitable for in vivo use; in addition, they will exhibit off-target effects at high concentrations, so there is an urgent need for new FSP1 inhibitors with improved pharmacokinetic properties and pharmacodynamic characteristics to fully explore the potential of FSP1 as a tumor treatment target. SUMMARY

[0101] Effect of test example 2 compounds on cell viability by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3

[0102] FSP1 inhibitors can enhance RSL3-induced ferroptosis in cancer cell lines of different tissue origins, such as human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549, human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080 and human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS. Therefore, these three tumor cell lines were selected to determine whether the compounds can enhance RSL3-induced ferroptosis. A549, HT1080, U2OS cells were cultured to a cell density of about 80%, the cells were digested and centrifuged, and the cells were resuspended and counted using 1 mL of fresh culture medium, and then the cells were seeded into a 96-well plate at a density of 5000 cells / well, and 24 wells on the upper and lower edges of the plate were not seeded with cells, and were filled with 200 μL of PBS; the 96-well plate was placed in a cell incubator for culture, and after about 12 h, the cells were completely adherent, drug treatment was performed, and 1 μM of test compounds P1, P3, and FSEN3 were added to all wells as positive controls; after adding the test compounds, RSL3 was set to a concentration gradient of 0, 0.01 μM, 0.03 μM, 0.05 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, and was added to the plate in turn, with 2 replicate wells for each concentration; after adding RSL3 and test compounds, cell death was observed, and after about 5 h, the 96-well plate was removed, and the cells in the plate were lysed using a CellTiter Glo kit, mixed thoroughly, and the fluorescence value was measured on a microplate reader (TECAN) to quantify the ATP level of the cells, and the relative viability was evaluated by ATP reading; data processing was performed using GraphPad, and the effect of the test compounds on cell viability by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3 was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 2 As can be seen from Table 1, Figure 2 compounds P1 and P3 can significantly promote RSL3-induced ferroptosis in human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549, human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080 and human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS.

[0103] Effect of test example 3 compounds on cell lipid peroxidation by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3

[0104] Since FSP1 exerts anti-ferroptosis activity by reducing RTA molecules such as CoQ or VK, and CoQ and VK can inhibit the propagation stage of phospholipid peroxidation to inhibit phospholipid peroxidation, the inhibition of FSP1 will theoretically promote the occurrence of phospholipid peroxidation. Based on this, the intracellular lipid ROS level was detected by flow cytometry. A549, HT1080, and U2OS cells were cultured to a cell density of about 80%, the cells were digested and centrifuged, and the cells were resuspended and counted using 1 mL of fresh culture medium, and then the cells were seeded into a 24-well plate at a density of 20,000 cells per well; the 24-well plate was placed in a cell incubator for culture, and after about 12 h, the cells were completely adhered, drug treatment was performed, the control group wells were added with corresponding concentration of DMSO, and the experimental group wells were added with 2.5 μM RSL3 (inducing ferroptosis) and 1 μM of the test compound P1, P3; after adding RSL3 and the test compound, the cell death was observed, and after about 5 h, the final concentration of 5 μM BODIPY 581 / 591C11 dye was added, and the cells were cultured at 37°C for 30 min; the 24-well plate was taken out, the cells were digested and centrifuged, washed once with HBSS, then resuspended in HBSS, and transferred to a flow tube; after mixing well, the signal from the oxidation probe was counted by FITC channel on a flow cytometer (BD FACS verse) to determine the intracellular lipid peroxidation level, and at least 5 x 10 3 cells per sample were analyzed; Flowjo was used for data processing to calculate the effect of the test compound on cell lipid peroxidation by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3, and the results are shown in Figure 3 . As can be seen from Figure 3 , when the cells are co-incubated with compounds P1, P3 and RSL3, the content of lipid peroxide is significantly increased compared with cells treated with RSL3 alone, indicating that compounds P1 and P3 can enhance RSL3-induced lipid peroxidation.

[0105] Effect of test example 4 compound on HT1080 cell activity by inhibiting FSP1

[0106] It is assumed that the addition of a lethal amount of RSL3 in cells can induce ferroptosis, and if VK, a substrate of FSP1, is added at this time, FSP1 can provide a constant supply of VKH2 by reducing VK, so that tumor cells can resist the lethal amount of RSL3. In order to prove this hypothesis, 2 μM RSL3 was added to HT1080 cells to induce ferroptosis, and at the same time, a gradient concentration of VK was added, and the results are shown in Figure 4 . As can be seen from Figure 4It can be seen that about 0.3 μM VK can make the cells survive. The VK inhibiting ferroptosis depends on the reducing capacity of FSP1 in the cells to VK. If the reducing of VK is inhibited by exogenously adding FSP1 inhibitor in the case of adding 2 μM RSL3 and 0.3 μM VK to make the cells survive, the cells will die because of the inability of VK to be reduced. Using this system, the IC50 of the FSP1 inhibitor to FSP1 at the cell level can be determined by adding different concentration gradients of the FSP1 inhibitor. 50 It can also be proved that the inhibitor can specifically target FSP1.

[0107] The HT1080 cells were cultured to a cell density of about 80%, the cells were digested and centrifuged, and the cells were resuspended and counted using 1 mL of fresh culture medium, and then the cells were inoculated into a 96-well plate at a number of 5000 cells per well. The 24 wells on the upper edge and lower edge of the 96-well plate were not inoculated with cells because the evaporation rate of the culture medium in the edge wells of the 96-well plate was faster, and 200 μL of PBS was used to make up; the 96-well plate was placed in a cell incubator for culture. After about 12 h, the cells were completely adherent, drug treatment was performed, and 2 μM of RSL3 (inducing ferroptosis) and 0.3 μM of vitamin K (inhibiting ferroptosis, vitamin K is reduced and regenerated by endogenous FSP1 in the cells to provide a continuous supply of reduced vitamin K, i.e. VKH2) were added to all the wells; after adding RSL3 and vitamin K, the test compounds P1, P3-P5 and the positive control drugs iFSP1, FSEN3 were set to 12 different concentration gradients, and were sequentially added to the wells, with 2 replicate wells for each concentration; after adding the compounds, the cell death was observed, and after about 7 h, the 96-well plate was taken out, the cells in the wells were lysed using the CellTiter Glo kit, and the cell ATP level was quantified by measuring the fluorescence value on the enzyme label instrument (TECAN) after thorough mixing, and the relative survival ability was evaluated by the ATP reading value; the data were processed using GraphPad to calculate the IC50 of the test compounds and the positive control drugs, and the results are shown in Table 2: 50

[0110] It can be seen from Table 2 that the compounds P1 and P3 of the present application have a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HT1080 cells, and the compounds P4 and P5 also have a certain inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HT1080 cells.
